Threads user @koteyee shared another crony IT vacancy on Work.ua. Business Research Group, which is presented on the site as a Ukrainian-American company, is looking for a programmer intern with a salary of $1 per hour. Here's what a candidate should be able to do for that kind of money.

Mass layoffs in recent years have changed the market: if previously IT was mostly about hiring, now it’s about performance, role fit, and team effectiveness. We asked HR leaders from Ukrainian and international IT companies what principles they use to make decisions about firing — and whether it’s possible to return after a separation.

The IT market remains competitive, and the number of responses per vacancy is high. In large companies, recruiters review hundreds of CVs every day. And the first decision is often made in a few seconds. dev.ua asked representatives of leading IT employers in Ukraine: which CVs they automatically filter out and which are real red flags.

Ukrainian IT professionals are once again arguing about what constitutes «stability» in IT. This time, the reason was a post by QA Team Lead and career consultant Inna Dvoinikova, who, after two years of freelancing, faced an unexpected problem — Ukrainian IT companies are in no hurry to consider her for long-term positions.

Web3 recruiting is fundamentally different from classic IT hiring. Most professionals in this environment rarely update LinkedIn, don’t always have a traditional resume, and often don’t identify themselves as «job seekers.» They don’t look for jobs—they create them.

Hello! It’s #vsrativakansii again. A new selection of trashy job offers as usual on Friday’s broadcast. Today’s episode features an «impressive» and free job, as well as strange linguistic requirements and Juni-teamleaders.

Exactly one year ago, Andrey Karpaty first publicly formulated the term «vibecoding» — a method of programming in which the key role is played not by writing code manually, but by interacting with AI. This is an approach where the developer sets the direction, describes the idea in words, adjusts the «mood» of the solution, and a significant part of the code is generated by AI. Over the past year, vibecoding has gone from a half-joking concept to a real practice used by indie developers, startups, and individual teams in large companies. For some, it’s a way to quickly assemble a prototype or pet project, for others, it’s a new level of abstraction in programming, where the engineer is more like an architect and editor than a «person who writes code line by line.»
